Prompt Generator – Coloring Prompts

Q: What’s the difference between Art Style and Basic Style?

I think of Basic Style as how much space you want in the line art. Simple and minimalist has more space which is best for toddlers but detailed has less space so adults can enjoy coloring the illustration. Art Style on the other hand, refers to the look of the character which applies to human and animal characters. For example, kawaii, chibi, Pixar style, or vector cartoon. You should use both to get the most accurate result.

How to Use the Coloring Prompt Generator

I built this form to be super flexible. You don’t have to fill in every single box every time, but the more you add, the more unique your result will be.

1. Basic Style (Dropdown)

This tells the AI how the lines should look. This is the most important part for making sure it’s actually “colorable.”

2. Audience Age (Dropdown)

This sets the difficulty level. The ai tool will make shapes bigger for toddlers and smaller for adults.

3. Target Audience (Dropdown)

I use this to help the AI narrow down the “vibe” because the style for seniors is different for boys.

4. Character Ethnicity

Specify the cultural background of your person. I recommend being specific to get the best representation!

Examples: African American, Asian, Hispanic, Caucasian, Middle Eastern, Indigenous, Indian, Diverse Group, Mixed Heritage, Nordic.

5. Art Style

This is the visual “flavor.” It changes the whole look of the character.

Examples: Kawaii, Chibi, Realistic, 90s Cartoon, Pixar-style, Anime, Steampunk, Gothic, Pop Art, Retro/Vintage.

6. Main Subject Elements

The “Star” of the show. Tell the generator exactly what you want to see.

Examples: A dragon, A girl with a puppy, A cozy kitchen, A spaceship, A fairy, A sunflower, An octopus, A classic car, A majestic castle, A sloth.

7. Custom Element Details

This is where you add the “little extras” that make your page stand out from the generic ones.

Examples: Wearing a crown, surrounded by stars, holding a magic wand, floral borders, geometric background, bubbles everywhere, sparkles, leaves falling, holding a coffee mug, wearing sunglasses.

8. View Point (Dropdown)

This is your “camera angle.” It changes how much of the scene we see.

9. Character Pose

I like to use this to give the character some life so they aren’t just standing there like a statue. You can also use complex poses like “standing side view”.

Examples: Standing, Sitting, Running, Dancing, Jumping, Sleeping, Flying, Reading a book, Laughing, Waving.

10. Character Emotion

This adds personality. A “fierce” dragon looks very different from a “happy” dragon.

Examples: Happy, Sad, Fierce, Focused, Surprised, Peaceful, Bored, Determined, Cheerful, Grumpy.

11. Clothing Description

Dress your character! If you leave this blank, the AI might give them something random.

Examples: A flowing dress, A suit and tie, A superhero costume, Pajamas, A winter coat, A swimsuit, A lab coat, A knight’s armor, A floral apron, Streetwear.

12. Footwear

Don’t forget the shoes! This is great for “Full Body” views.

Examples: Sneakers, Boots, Sandals, slippers, Barefoot, High heels, Flip flops, Combat boots, Roller skates, Fuzzy slippers.

13. Hairstyle

This is key for specific niches like “Black Girl Magic” or “Vintage Fashion.”

Examples: Long braids, Curly ponytail, Short bob, Wild and messy, Cornrows, Afros, Bald, Pixie cut, Space buns, Straight hair.

14. Environment/Setting

Where is all this happening? This fills in the background of your page. If you don’t want anything in the background use the word “plain”.

Examples: A magical forest, A sunny beach, A cozy bedroom, Outer space, Under the sea, A library, A busy city street, A mountaintop, A greenhouse, A candy land.

Questions You Might Have While Filling This Out

What if I’m not making a person?

I get this a lot. If you’re making a book about cars or flowers, you just skip the fields like “Hairstyle” or “Ethnicity.” I designed the generator to just ignore the fields you don’t use. Focus on the Main Subject and Environment instead.

What’s the difference between Art Style and Basic Style?

I think of Basic Style as how much space you want in the line art. Simple and minimalist has more space which is best for toddlers but detailed has less space so adults can enjoy coloring the illustration.

Art Style on the other hand, refers to the look of the character which applies to human and animal characters. For example, kawaii, chibi, Pixar style, or vector cartoon. You should use both to get the most accurate result.

When should I use the ‘Random’ button?

You can use the red Randomizer button. Use it when you are totally out of ideas. It’ll mash together things you’d never think of—like a “Cyberpunk Grandma” or a “Gothic Toddler.” It’s great for finding those “weird” niches that actually sell well because no one else is making them.

Can I edit the Prompt?

Yes, you can. Once the prompt has been generated, you can copy it and paste it into the ai art generator or the note or text app. Then you lcan edit the prompt as you wish.
